Serene Crete resort overlooking the Aegean Sea

• A village within a village: Nestled in the picturesque, Cretan hilltop village of Koutouloufari, Asterias Village Resort is a pocket of modern bliss within a timeless, authentic setting. Guestrooms, terraces and restaurant are tied together with a neutral colour palette and sleek, minimalist edge for a pared-back, relaxing atmosphere, blending seamlessly with the rustic charm of the cobbled, flower-lined village beyond.

• A splash of blue: Wander down to the pool area and take a refreshing dip in either of the free-form, tiled swimming pools, with plenty of fresh pool towels on standby. Claim your spot in the plush lounge area with thatched parasols for a spot of shade, and enjoy hours of relaxation with views across mountain ridges and the deep blue Aegean beyond.

• Local and classic cuisine: Enjoy your go-to cappuccino, a Greek coffee, or a homemade fruit juice alongside a delightful breakfast. The hotel’s restaurant serves up authentic Cretan cuisine as well as classic international staples, from succulent, grilled meat cuts to fresh and hearty salads. Choose from the cocktail menu and sip away on the sunny terrace, and seal the perfect day with a glass of ouzo. 

How to get there

From Heraklion International Airport N. Kazantzakis, it will take approximately 25 minutes by taxi to arrive at Asterias Village Resort. The resort offers a shuttle service into Hersonissos, but we recommend hiring a car if you wish to explore more of the beautiful island at your own pace.
